So, my girlfriend has a Fender Starcaster Acoustic from a little Fender starter kit, and I'm helping her out by doing some proper fretwork and stringing/setup. I've run into a small problem that I didn't even think about - It's missing a bridge pin, and I don't know where to get replacements that fit.

I went into a guitar shop and got some cheap Planet Waves plastic pins, but they're too thick for this acoustic. This one has very thin bridge pins. Any idea where to buy them? I can't seem to find them online anywhere.

Sam Ash, Musicians Friend, Guitar Center all sell bridge pins.

Have you called around to local music shops? Even those that do not sell Fender. If they don't have them, they may be able to give you the number of a luthier nearby.

Have you contacted consumerrelations@fender.com ? For some strange reason, most people forget about this option. It may take them a few days to get back to you but... http://www.fender.com/support/articles/contact-consumer-relations/

I suppose you could wrap the pin in sandpaper and get to work until you have removed enough plastic...
